it may generate a temporary afterimage (phosphor burn-in).

(However, such images can be removed by displaying normal

video for a while.)

• LCD response speed and brightness vary with ambient tem-

peratures.

• Do not install the unit where it is exposed to direct sunlight. It

may damage the cabinet and LCD screen.

• Do not install the unit in locations where enough space cannot

be provided around it as heat may build up inside preventing

normal operation. Be sure to provide enough space around

the unit.

• Exposing the LCD screen to intense light sources will impair

its characteristics and lower image quality.

• In an environment exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations,

condensation may build up on and inside the LCD screen.

This may lower the quality of the screen and may damage it.

• Some video images may appear blurred on the screen.

• Leaving the unit in a location exposed to high temperature and

humidity for an extended period of time may damage the LCD

screen and cause blurring.

• Streaks of light may be seen in the area between the edge of

the screen and the frame; this is normal and not a malfunction.

• The LCD panel is covered by the packaging material to protect

it from damage during transportation and when unpacking it.

Remove the packaging material before use.

• This unit does not support VIERA Link. When the unit is con-

nected to a VIERA-Link-compatible device via an HDMI cable,

SDI terminal

A SDI1 (3G/HD/SD) input terminal (BNC)

This is the SDI input terminal. (Compatible with 3G-SDI

and 3G/HD/SD automatic switching)

In 3D assist mode, input images for the left eye (L).

B SDI1 active through output terminal (BNC)

This terminal outputs SDI1 input as is.

C SDI2 (HD/SD) input terminal (BNC)

This is the SDI input terminal. (Compatible with HD/SD

automatic switching)

In 3D assist mode, input images for the right eye (R).

D SDI2 active through output terminal (BNC)

This terminal outputs SDI2 input as is.

• When this output is used to daisy-chain

multiple moni-

tors, the quality of the original signal, cable length, the

number of connected devices and other factors all come

into play to deteriorate picture quality and introduce noise.

Daisy-chain:

Refers to connecting the through-out signal from a

device to the input of a second, third or more devices

in a linear series, thus using a single signal in multiple

devices.

• Use a 5C-FB or equivalent cable to make connections to

an SDI terminal.

VIDEO terminal (BNC)

IN : This is the VIDEO signal (composite signal) input

terminal.

OUT : This is the input signal through-out terminal.

Unless a cable is connected to the VIDEO OUT terminal,

the VIDEO IN terminal is automatically terminated at

75 Ω. Connecting a cable releases this termination.

Since a connection to the through-out terminal releases the

75 Ω termination of the unit, the level of the VIDEO signal

input to the unit may become too large depending on the

connected device.

DVI-I terminal

This is the DVI-signal input terminal.

• Use double shielded cable for making connections to a

DVI-I terminal.

HDMI terminal (Type A)

This is the HDMI input terminal.

• Use double-shielded cable for making connections to an

HDMI terminal.

AUDIO input terminal (pin jack)

This is the common audio input terminal for all video input

terminals.

• Use shielded cable for making connections to an AUDIO

input terminal.

RS-485 input/output terminal (RJ-45)

External control is possible by using an RS-485 signal.

• Use shielded cable for making connections to an RS-485

input/output terminal.

• Make sure that the cable is fully inserted in the terminal

and cannot easily be pulled out.

• A loop-through connection using the RS-485 input and

output terminals allows operation of multiple monitors (up

to 32 monitors).

• Connect a terminator (120 Ω) between the first and sec-

ond pin of the RS-485 OUT terminal on the last monitor in

the chain.

GPI input terminal (D-SUB, 9 pins)

External control is possible by using a GPI signal.

• Use shielded cable for making connections to the GPI

input terminal.

RS-232C input terminal (D-SUB, 9 pins)

External control is possible by using an RS-232C signal

• Use shielded cable for making connections to an RS-232C

input terminal.

Power supply

Connecting the power cable

Attach the power cable to the unit.

Power cable

2. Connect the power cable to the power outlet.

 When using external DC power (12 V DC)

You can slide open the power cover to switch from AC input

to external DC input.

Power cover

<Note>

• If the power cover has come off or been removed, do not use

the monitor with the power supply connected to both AC input

and DC input terminals.

• Use a shielded DC cable that is not longer than 2 m. A cable

that is 2 m or longer may cause screen noise.

Before using an external DC power supply, be sure to check

that the rating of the external DC power supply suits the

power requirements of this monitor.

Check the pin arrangements of the DC output terminal of the

external DC power supply and those of the DC IN socket of

this monitor to ensure that a connection will maintain the cor-

rect polarity.

If +12 V is accidentally connected the GND terminal, fire or

injury could result.
